Unbranded All Books: Gesture Studies, sku-16632540

Elements of Meaning in Gesture, by Geneviève Calbris and Mary M. Copple, is a new English-language hardcover for a professional and scholarly audience. This Unbranded title is listed under All Books as sku-16632540; its ISBN is 9789027228475. Drawing on her semiotic analysis of gestures in conversation, Calbris examines how gesture relates to speech and thought. She describes how a gesture can carry several signs through analogies between physical and semantic elements. These links arise through mimetic and metonymic processes and take on meaning in context. The book also argues that gesture can represent perceptual patterns between concrete and abstract ideas, sometimes anticipating verbal expression, and treats gesture as a symbolic system connected to thought and speech production.You may also like Unbranded All Books Community Information sku-16936896.
